Chapter 339: The treacherous and treacherous and insult the country

[Thanks to book friend "World Piao" for the monthly tickets he cast]

By the way, Hou Shu took advantage of the favorable opportunity when Guo Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty died and Guo Rong ascended the throne and quietly sent troops to annex the four places of Qinzhou, Chengzhou, Fengzhou and Jiezhou of the Later Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Hou Zhou was busy dealing with the military threats of the Liao and Han coalition forces, and could not draw out the power to counterattack, so he could only acquiesce to Hou Shu's occupation of these four states.

Logically speaking, you made a fortune by making a fortune in a quiet voice. After Shu Meng Chang finally managed to steal the land of the four states from Guo Rong, a strong man. Why don’t you hide in the bed at night and laugh at me? Don’t be arrogant. But Meng Chang, perhaps because of the few brain cells that have been worn out by the beauties, actually set up a regime in the four states with great fanfare and ordered the levy of double taxes on the land of the four states.

In Meng Chang's view, the four states should pay for his military expenditure, and it is not too much to pay double taxes. But in the eyes of the people of the four states, the rest of the Later Zhou Dynasty had carried out appropriate reforms, and the taxes were slightly reduced, but they had to pay double taxes here, which was too aggrieved! So the people and officials and gentry secretly connected and sent envoys to Kaifeng Prefecture to ask Guo Rong for rescue.

Originally, the Bian Cemeter written by Wang Pu was to attack the Southern Tang first and then the Later Shu, but the people cried and bowed. Guo Rong had to consider the influence between the court and the country. After thinking about it, he decided to send troops. So Guo Rong appointed Wang Jing, the governor of Fengxiang Army, and Xiang Xun, the envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui, as the chief and deputy recruiting envoy of the Shu army, and immediately raised food, grass and equipment, and prepared to attack Shu.

The subordinates of the Later Zhou Dynasty immediately attracted the attention of Meng Chang, the king of Shu. Although he was foolish, he knew the principle of preparing for war. He hurriedly sent Zhao Jizha, a guest envoy to Qinzhou, Fengzhou and other places to inspect border defenses and check the combat readiness.

Although Zhao Jizha was not very talented, he had a good relationship with the concubines and eunuchs who were favored in Meng Chang's palace. With everyone helping to blow the pillow, Meng Chang agreed to his request in a confused manner. Zhao Jizha, who received Meng Chang's permission, felt that he had the Shangfang Sword and was an angel envoy. He immediately had a high tail, arrogant and arrogant person.

So Zhao Jizha came to Qinzhou with a proud look. The local defense envoy Han Jixun dared not neglect, so he personally welcomed Zhao Jizha and his party into the city.

After the guests and the guests met, Zhao Jizha raised his head up forty-five degrees, and would rather look at the ceiling than look at everyone.

Seeing his eyes higher than the sky, Han Jixun was secretly angry: Why did Your Majesty send such a guy to patrol the border? This is not for help, but for causing trouble. However, even though Han Jixun was secretly angry, he did not dare to openly ridicule him. He quickly ordered the guards to bring a plate of gold, silver and wealth and deliver it to Zhao Jizha.

As soon as the gold and silver thing came to Zhao Jizha, his head immediately dropped, grabbed a gold bar, played with it for a while, and then said with a smile: "What is General Han doing? How could I be greedy for these things?"

Han Jixun cursed in his heart: You bastard, can you wipe your saliva before speaking? It’s better to see how you want to put it in your arms, so why are you pretending to be like you?!

Han Jixun smiled slightly, "In fact, after the capture of Qinzhou, he seized such a batch of property from the local indigenous homes. It is not worth much, it is just a souvenir. When I come to Qinzhou, I have to make some statement that these souvenirs will be given to the adults, which is also the only wish of our people in Qinzhou."

Zhao Jizha immediately stuffed the gold bar into his arms and said with a smile: "Then I'll be disrespectful."

After accepting Han Jixun's money, Zhao Jizha became very close to Han Jixun and asked about Qinzhou's current combat readiness. This time, it was a stuttering Han Jixun's itch, and Han Jixun immediately started talking.

Zhao Jizha was not worthy of being outdone and kept giving suggestions, but was subconsciously rejected by Han Jixun, who was immersed in the story. As a result, the more Han Jixun spoke, the more ugly Zhao Jizha's face became. By the time Han Jixun discovered it, Zhao Jizha's face had become ashen.

Han Jixun regretted it a little, but he was unwilling to beg for forgiveness of the incompetent Zhao Jizha again, so he had to pretend that he couldn't understand it and sent Zhao Jizha out of the city politely.

Zhao Jizha rode on the horse and was furious. Isn’t it just that he can fight? What’s so amazing?! The suggestions made by Ge Lao Tzu are all copied from "The Art of War". Are you better at fighting than grandson?! He actually disdained me, bah!

The angry Zhao Jizha soon arrived in Fengzhou. At this time, the governor of Fengzhou, Wang Wandi, was busy analyzing and summarizing the combat readiness of Fengzhou and correcting the shortcomings. How could he feel like to entertain Zhao Jizha as a waste? So Wang Wandi said perfunctory words to Zhao Jizha and sent him out of the city, without even Cheng Yi giving him a little.

Zhao Jizha was very angry this time. He didn't know how many gifts he gave to the Inner Palace, so he was in exchange for this mission to patrol the border. Isn't it just to search for some gold, silver and jewelry from the guards from all over the country to supplement the household expenses? Now, one looks down on me, and the other looks down on me. Let's take a look!

A few days later, Zhao Jizha returned to Chengdu Prefecture and immediately entered the palace to ask for a meeting. Meng Chang quickly summoned him into the palace and asked about the border.

Zhao Jizha came to Meng Chang, kowtowed three times, then sighed, and said without saying anything with red eyes.

Meng Chang was very surprised and asked in confusion: "Why don't you say a word? Is there anything difficult?"

Zhao Jizha said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I don't want your Majesty to worry, but the preparations for Fengzhou in Qinzhou are really bad. The Qinzhou garrison Han Jixun talked loudly about it, just Zhao Tian who talked about war on paper; and the Fengzhou garrison Wang Wandi was even more defenseless against the Zhou army and knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day!"

When Meng Chang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and whisper: "I had known that Han Jixun had limited talent and was not enough to resist the Zhou army. However, now it is the time to use people, so he can only temporarily hold the post of Qinzhou Defense Envoy. Can you have a suitable person to share my worries? I will definitely use it."

Zhao Jizha said loudly: "I am not talented, I am willing to resist the Zhou army for Your Majesty. I will definitely not return the Zhou army's armor!"

Meng Chang frowned slightly. Why did Zhao Jizha exclaim so loudly? Could it be that he discovered the big loophole of the Zhou army while patrolling the border, or did he think of the idea of ​​defeating the Zhou army? No matter what the reason, as long as he can repel the Zhou army.

So Meng Chang appointed Zhao Jizha as the governor of the Xiongwu Army, and led more than a thousand personal soldiers of the Suwei Guards to Qinzhou and Fengzhou to coordinate the defenses of the two places and resist the Later Zhou army. After Zhao Jizha sent troops, Meng Chang felt uneasy again, so he ordered the Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan to inspect the northern border and guard the guards at the important places of the mountain pass to guard against the Zhou army's sneak attack.

After giving the order, Meng Chang quickly felt relieved, commented on flowers and willows, drank and wrote poems, and Chengdu Prefecture was immediately immersed in peace...
